Programs in dentistry help students learn about how to prevent, diagnose and treat different conditions in patients. Completing a program in dental sciences can open the door to additional specialized career paths, such as becoming an orthodontist or veterinary dentist.

A Master of Science is an advanced program of study that can be earned in about two years. Many schools offer online or part-time MSc programs so that busy learners can further their education in a way that is convenient for them.

Online learning refers to use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. With online learning one has the flexibility to access their studies at any time and from anywhere they can log on.
